Baystate Roofers, Inc

Baystate Roofers has been in business since 2002 — 23 years, by its Better Business Bureau file — working out of 240 Park St in North Reading with six employees. Shingles and roofing are what the BBB page lists, and the grade there is an A+, though the company is not BBB accredited. BuildZoom has 80 permitted projects on record for the company. One of them falls in the past two years, valued between $5,000 and $20,000. BuildZoom also scores the company 83, which it places in the 20th percentile of Massachusetts contractors. Licensing is worth a direct question. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #137193, for the company, alongside a Massachusetts roofing contractor (CSSL) licence, #099895, that the page shows as inactive and says was at one point cancelled. If you are pricing a shingle roof around North Reading, this is a small, long-established outfit with a deep permit history behind it. Ask them to show the current roofing licence and home improvement registration before any deposit, and ask which roofs they have shingled in the last couple of years.
